Another #SciPolComm gem from Matt Willis just a few lines down: "Public health innovation isn’t always about discovering something new. Sometimes it’s about reshaping systems so people can reliably access the basics." #SciPol 🧪

Disability advocates in Illinois are working to enshrine the right to wear masks. Here's how they got this far — and a blueprint for how others can work to ban mask bans in their state. bit.ly/43MYLvb
Collage graphic showing cut-outs of people wearing KN95 masks. The text reads, “The Sick Times. Illinois could become the first state in the country to ban mask bans. Here’s how we created the bill to do it. By Megan E. Doherty.” "Enshrining the right to wear protective medical equipment, such as N95s, is essential for protecting vulnerable populations, including the disabled, the immunocompromised, low-wage workers, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals, older adults, and people who are pregnant. It would also help protect anyone from developing chronic disease, since anyone can be affected by Long COVID." - Megan E. Doherty, Co-founder of Care Not COVID Chicagoland

Worth tinkering about! The state-level approach is intriguing, and I'd bet we can gain traction in California and Washington (and Oregon) with some of these abovementioned approaches.

I've half joked about "SciPolComm" (mainly because it's fun to say that abbreviation), but I am 100% serious that there is a need for it. Doing a science journalism and science policy fellowship back to back was pretty revealing. (Also shoutout to AIP's FYI newsletter on science policy)
